+---- Thread: Portland punishment (/showthread.php?tid=78267)

Never did we expect to see a team get punished for something similar to the events that we've seen recently the past few days in the SHL. Unfortunately said events have happened and we have to deliver the bad news.
The Portland Admirals General Managers Wally and Tweedledunn have been found with cap circumvention in order to gain a competitive edge.
On August 3rd, the Admiral GMs signed 5 of their draftees to matching 3 million dollar deals. A few days later when their budget was posted by Tweedle, it was shown that 4 of those 5 players were only paid 2.5 million. 500k less than the original amount. Portland later traded one of those players to Los Angeles and later signed Zalleras Schlerchek to a 1 year contract.
During these events it was found that Portland were deliberately trying to cut costs when one of their draftees came forward and revealed that they were never asked about taking a cut in their contract. Portland were also found misrepresenting the value of the contract for one of their players to Los Angeles, as well they lied to the budget director claiming that the contract numbers were an accident and not deliberately adjusted down. Portland then used the illegal cap space to sign Szlerchek. Lastly when reacting to the events that happened, Co-GM Tweedledunn showed no remorse for his actions and instead laughed at the situation and decided to make a podcast where he attempted to circumvent cap again by donating the money earned from the podcast to the rookies affected.
Unlike punishments such as tampering where there is a set precedent for the severity of the offense, there is no set punishment for an offense such as cap circumvention. This is very much a first of its kind and Portland will have to be punished unfortunately.
Punishment (Voting 4-3 in favor of this punishment)
All rookies affected will have their contracts adjusted to the proper amounts
Szlerchek signing void
LAP gets $500k cap space from POR
Tweedledunn fired as Co-GM, unable to hold a management position for 3 seasons
Cap docked $5M for 3 seasons
Portland loses their next three own owned 1st round picks (S40 1st, S41 1st, S42 1st)
Both GMs players suspended for a full season

RIP Portland
So are they gonna have to trade away players now to get under their new penalized cap?
Also, I assume Z is considered a free agent eligible to receive offers as of now?
